On January 1, 2003 I started sending a free Photo of the Day to family and friends and it has grown to over 750 subscribers around the world. If you would like to receive a K. Bruce Lane Photo of the Day, send an email to blane@lanephotography.com.
In 2006 I decided to use this BLOG to post my Photo of the Day to the Internet and all images are for sale as photographic prints and stock photographs.

Last week I visited the downtown area of
St. John's to make photos. It was a nice day and since I wanted to
photograph people, I wandered from eastern Duckworth Street, down to Water
Street, then back again. It took about an hour to walk that
distance. I plan to share some of the images taken during that walk over
the next few days.It was an interesting experience because the
last time I did this was early one Sunday morning in December 2001. At
that time I wanted to photograph the buildings without cars and people.
The downtown certainly has changed over the past 12 years! There are no
vacant buildings, businesses have come and gone, there are more pubs and
restaurants, there are several new hotels, some buildings have been demolished
and others have been given a facelift. Today, the downtown area is much
more vibrant and active - mainly because of the booming economy caused by the
offshore oil industry and its many spin-offs.A while ago I started to revise my St. John's
Galleries and will make an effort over the next few days to accomplish that
goal. When it is complete, I will share the links with you.

The Random Passage Site is a small town
built as a movie set for the award-winning mini-series Random Passage
which was produced in 2002. Since then it has been operated as a
tourist destination that has been visited by thousands of people from all
over the world. Today's photos are wide shots that show the village
and how the buildings are laid out in relation to each other.The images I've shared over the past 10 days
will help you imagine how hard life was for the early settlers on the island of
Newfoundland. As I said earlier in this series, this was my second visit to this
site and I have created a NEW web site that features photos from both visits.
You can view the 7 New Galleries at:

A few of you have said that you have read the
book and seen the movie and others have said that they will read the book as a
result of this series. Feel free to share today's
photos and the link to my new galleries with family and friends. This is the last day of my summer
special - see details below.Feel free to share today's photos with family and friendsLAST DAY!SUMMER SALE - SAVE 50%. DETAILS AT: http://www.lanephotography.com/summer-sale-details.htm

Today's photos were taken inside the
houses and sheds at the Random Passage Site. Even though the salt
fish around the site looks real, it is man-made. All other items in
the buildings look like real antiques, however, I suspect they too were
specifically made for the movie set.The photos over the past 3 days were taken with
my Canon EOS digital camera. As I started to make the photos, I took out
the Nikon P500, which I usually use for inside photos. However, after a
quick test with the Canon, I realized that by using an ISO of 1600 (my old
camera does not adjust the ISO automatically) the
light from the windows was sufficient and the photos were good, so I continued using it in all buildings. Feel free to share today's photos with family and friendsLAST DAY!SUMMER SALE - SAVE 50%. DETAILS AT: http://www.lanephotography.com/summer-sale-details.htm

Today's photos were taken inside the
school house on the Random Passage Site. The crutch was certainly basic,
but probably served its purpose at the time. The abacus was made
from sea shells and worked quite well. The slate was actually a
piece of rock and the chaulk was a piece of soft white rock, both found
locally. It certainly wasn't like the Back to School stuff you see
advertised these days!Feel free to share today's photos with family and friendsSUMMER SALE - SAVE 50%. DETAILS AT: http://www.lanephotography.com/summer-sale-details.htm
